Talk to Kathy Brennan at [2, 2] in the Shrouded Canals (Srambad), inside the Voyagers' Outpost.
Dialog

When I left my post at Brakmar to join the Order Errant, I never thought I'd see a city with so many unsolved murders. Such a paradise existing separate from the World of Twelve is a real godsend for a judicial anthropologist. Each day brings more cadavers and new investigations. It's so exciting!

Offer your services for a new mission.

I didn't want to seem opportunistic to you, you've just removed a big thorn from my side. More and more reports are coming to us stating that there have been Necrotick attacks. Normally, because they're scavengers, they only attack living creatures if they feel threatened. That's why Sergeant Resaca is counting on me to find out the reason for the attacks.

Find out more.

Initially, I needed to find out more about the Necroticks. Luckily, your reputation as a fighter precedes you, which is why I'm suggesting you be the one to take samples from the different types of these creatures and their eggs. Only an in-depth scientific study can give me the answers I need.

Accept.

Step 1: Epidemiology[]

Kathy Brennan needs to study the Necroticks to find out why they're so aggressive.

These steps can be done in any order. You must bring all 8 samples at once to update the quest (4 dropped and 4 from clickable elements).
These samples are 100% quest drops from the respective monsters in the Catacumbras.
  • Take samples from some Necrotick eggs
The eggs are found at [5, 7], [5, 9], [8, 8] and [8, 7] (in Srambad). You may be attacked by a single monster while collecting any of these samples.
  • Take the Necrotick Egg Samples to Kathy Brennan  [2, 2] (Srambad)

Give the samples.

So, none are missing? Your professionalism is worthy of the rumours I've heard about you. Enough chatting, Sergeant Resaca wants to talk to you about some urgent business. That will give me time to take your samples to Dr Djiyn and wait for his results.

You lose 1 Amorphid Egg Sample, 1 Healthy Amorphid Sample, 1 Healthy Scoliopode Sample, 1, Healthy Sculucanus Sample, 1 Healthy Trechepeira Sample, 1 Scoliopode Egg Sample, 1 Sculucanus Egg Sample, and 1 Trechepeira Egg Sample.

Dialog

Hey, kid, are you lost? You should know that the City of Thieves is no place for whiners. If you crossed the portal because you saw a light, turn right around and go back to the World of Twelve. We have enough to do here without having to protect tourists from the cursed vermin in this city.

Enquire about the urgency of the situation.

Did Dr Brennan send you? From what I know, you've managed to get rid of several Necroticks in the same way that a tailor can get rid of 7 Moskitos in one fell swoop. I hope you can repeat that feat.

Listen to the rest.

I've just this minute received a report from a special agent who's in over his head with the Necroticks. He can't get himself out of trouble, and by the time we've managed to mobilise an evacuation group here, it will be too late. If only that bloody Krosmachine hadn't packed up prematurely! Go down to the Catacumbras and secure the area to buy some time for the evacuation team.

  • Find the map: Zone to secure  [4, 8]  (Srambad)
Dialog

Sorry to involve you in this. Judging from your heavy breathing, I see you suffer from the same problem as me, though you're not as bad. As you can see, I can't move very far and the Necroticks are just waiting for me to fall so they can feast on my flesh.

Analyse the entire situation.

I have on me a small experimental firebomb that I haven't been strong enough to use. Throw it into the flames, it should keep Necroticks far away as long as it burns. I hope that by the time it's died out, we'll have been rescued.

  • Use the fuel cell to keep the Necroticks away  [4, 8]  (Srambad)
Click the flaming barrel. Tim Trauma will appear on the map.
Dialog

Aww, who got a big booboo and needs Tim Trauma to evacuate him urgently? Dry those tears, it'll soon be over. And I have loads of lollies. Who's going to have some nice candy?

Point to Marshall Palegnor.

I'll take care of him now. Shall I evac you at the same time? Normally, I wouldn't be allowed to take care of non-insured persons, but I'll make an exception.

Take advantage of the occasion to return the outpost. (teleports you to the Voyagers' Outpost at [2, 2] in the Shrouded Canals)

Make your report.

Clean and efficient work.
... What are you waiting for? A medal? Go back to Dr Brennan.
